Pakistan declared best country for infrastructure development

So in short;
ROAD: We agree
Airports: We agree
Railroad: Lets agree to disagree

i wud like to backtrack on the seaport stance that i took earlier. seems pak edged out india in that deptt too.
however, i wud stand firm over railways.
both in terms of penetration n quality, indian railways do seem to be on a better ground than pakistan railways in on these days.

Newly built Multan City airport, a second tier city of Pakistan. Multan city is also getting the BRTS in a few months, almost done with.

Pakistan raiwaly is no where near Indian railways, that's a fact.

It's actually other way around.. Check the sub pillars in infrastructure in Global Competitiveness Report (2016-17) of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
India much ahead in railroad network than Pak ,but India trails Pak in port infrastructure..

heeinn,

That is new to me, and, quite interesting. can you please share a link to that WEF report and may be indicate where to look for this info. It will be helpful.

ISLAMABAD: Emerging Markets has declared Pakistan the best country for infrastructure development in South Asia.

Emerging Markets is a research and publishing institute of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.

According to a statement issued here on Sunday, Pakistan was declared the best attractive country for infrastructure development.

The award was given due to successful investment in energy and transport projects.

Pakistan received the distinction in recognition of the government’s best planning in various mega projects, including China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Lahore Karachi railway, LNG pipeline and energy projects.

Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal was invited to receive the award in Washington but due to his unavailability Pakistan’s Ambassador in the US Jalil Abbas Jillani received the award in a ceremony held in Washington on Saturday night.
